Relavak Labs Second Project

February 4, 2008

I have been wanting to develop a game for the Nintendo Wii but it seems that Nintendo is not interested in supporting individual developers yet. So instead I looked into the Nintendo DS and found lots of “homebrew” support for development on the DS. So I bought a development system (supercard) and downloaded the devkitpro tools and started. Soon I found a couple of software packages that provided a reasonable “game engine” for my game: Box2D (physics) and uLibrary (graphics). Box2D had a port already to the DS (fixed point) by tobw.net, which I updated to the then current version of Box2D.

My first game: PinHockey, a one or two player game (one DS) that is a combination of AirHockey and Pinball. It can downloaded at http://www.relavak.com/downloads/PinHockey.zip. The select button invokes a list of option that can be changed via the touchpad.

Have fun. Check my blog at http://www.relavak.com for updates and info on other Relavak Labs projects.
